Side support for bicycle The Upstand
It is clear that if you are a cycling fan and like to practice high performance bikes, you will most likely not find unnecessary elements in your frame, therefore you will not find accessories such as a lateral support (such as those that can be found regularly in urban bicycles); an element, such as the side support, which can be very useful, especially if you do not get to find a parking lot for bicycles, or do not want to lean your bikes on a wall (at the risk of falling).
Therefore, another enthusiast through the platform of KickStarter launches to the world his idea of The Upstand(design by Garrett Blake ); it is evident that to launch this idea, of a lateral support for bicycle, it has focused on covering a need that seems to attract some fans (of the 20 thousand dollars required to launch the production of the project, they have already raised a little more than 18 $ 1,789); and what can make the attention of this product, in addition to its functionality and design, is linked to manufacturing materials.
Qualities of The Upstand
For a year now, it has been possible to find Upstand lateral support in the market , but for this new release, some updates and modifications have been made to the original accessory, which is why financial means are being sought for its production. This new piece is made of carbon fiber and has the functionality of folding to be able to transport better; In addition, for the installation, a piece of steel is used that is mounted on the quick closing of the wheel of the bicycle, with which the support is not integrated into the frame.
The folding mechanism of the lateral support is suitable for 20 "wheels (although models for frames with 26" and 29 "wheels are also available); the accessory is 100% built in the United States; In addition, for the fixing of the support, to fit on the steel flange that has been placed in the quick closing of the wheels of the bicycle, an axial magnet is used; for which you only have to slide under the tab and the lateral support will remain firm and secure.
For transportation you can use the UpClip
Now, if you do not want to use the lateral support, you just have to disconnect from the steel tab, fold and store in some of the pockets of the sweater; Now if you do not want to save in your pocket, you can place mounted on an accessory such as the UpClip (a new support, which will be released in the coming days, which can be placed under the bottle) to place your Upstand .
Currently, a few days before the end of the fundraising period, you can get a piece of this incredible accessory (which includes the UpClip ) for a donation of $ 39; after distribution of the first order may come to vary their cost, so we suggest that you keep abreast of the official website of upstanding Bycicle or platform co-founded projects Kickstarter.
